From "The Pioneer Woman of the Western Reserve":

Nancy Turner, who was the wife of Charles Hinckley, came to Auburn in 1817 from Walworth, N. Y.. with ox teams and by sledding, and endured with fortitude the hardships and privations incident to pioneer life. Her daughters, Nancy C . became Mrs. George Fox, and Lenina became Mrs. A. Morse. Betsey, a sister of Nancy Turner Hinckley, married Gilbert Hinckley, and was the mother of eleven children.

She was possessed of gentle ways and affectionate disposition, which endeared her to her many friends. The last ten years of her life she was blind, which affliction she bore without a murmur.^[4]
